I also recently drove about 3K miles on 18" Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow tires and they proved to be phenomenal in snow and ice - they also have a very soft and quiet ride. My car has Adaptive Drive.

There are plenty of people on this forum who think that the 20"s look better and provide better performance. IMO having huge anchors at each corner does not improve performance and as far as looks I'm with you in the j/k description "drug dealer wheels". As you now know, they wear out quickly and they give you a punishing ride - sell them - you'll find plenty of buyers right here.
Thanks. Is there an issue with the sport suspension vs the standard in making this move?
